Interparietal bones are not elongated and not visible in the lateral view of the skull. The sagittal crest is less developed than the lambdoidal crest. Upper incisors with divergent tips projected forward, forming an angle with the canines of 45 °. Upper canines and first premolars in contact. The second upper premolar is protocone-wide and robust (Fig. +5 +). The third upper molar has a well-developed commissure. The posterior part extends beyond the maxillary bone (Fig. +6 +). The palate does not extend beyond the level of the third upper molars (Fig. +6 +). Mesopterygoid fossa with basisphenoid pits deep, narrow anteriorly and broader posteriorly, with an oval shape (Fig. +5 +). Rib between basisphenoid pit wide. Incisive foramen diminutive.

The single species in this genus (described below) is somewhat similar in size, shape, and coloration to +Metaxydytes laevigatus +(Olivier) and may be present among series of that species in collections. + +Nilssondytes + +differ from +M. laevigatus +in several features (see above) including the presence of yellow lateral elytral margins (Fig. +1 +) which are absent in +M. laevigatus +. Larvae are unknown. + + + + +Etymology. + + +This genus is named + +Nilssondytes + +from the Greek +dytes +meaning “ diver, ” and +Nilsson +, after the great diving-beetle worker and excellent friend, Anders N. Nilsson, in honor of his inestimable contribution to the science of diving-beetle biology. + + + + +Phylogenetic relationships. + + +The single species of + +Nilssondytes + +gen. nov. +is part of the clade that includes species with an oblique metatrochanteric groove, but it has an unresolved position with respect to other genera ( +Miller et al. 2024 +). The presence of a reduced posterior metatarsal claw in both males and females (Figs +2 +, +3 +) with straight medial margins of the male abdominal sternite IX (Fig. +10 +) is a unique combination of features within +Cybistrinae +. Unique among this larger clade is also the sulcate prosternum and prosternal process (Fig. +4 +) which is somewhat similar to the Australian genera + +Spencerhydrus +Sharp, 1882 + +and + +Sternhydrus +Brinck, 1945 + +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/55/CE/3C/55CE3C92A13E5A4FABF0EFCB4F9CE543.xml b/data/55/CE/3C/55CE3C92A13E5A4FABF0EFCB4F9CE543.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..41425ce6d6a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/55/CE/3C/55CE3C92A13E5A4FABF0EFCB4F9CE543.xml @@ -0,0 +1,423 @@ + + + +Expanding the knowledge of the bat fauna of the Brazilian Caatinga: new geographical records of molossid bats (Chiroptera, Molossidae) for the Chapada Diamantina region, with taxonomic notes + + + +Author + +García, Franger J. +0000-0001-6764-225X +Programa de Pós-graduação em Zoologia, Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Brazil + + + +Author + +Ochoa-G, José +https://orcid.org/0009-0000-4095-0463 +Centro de Estudios en Zoología Aplicada (CEZA), Facultad de Ciencias y Tecnología, Universidad de Carabobo, Valencia, Venezuela + + + +Author + +Poma-Urey, José L. +0000-0002-2426-9819 +Área de Zoología, Museo de Historia Natural Noel Kempff Mercado de la Universidad Autónoma Gabriel René Moreno, Santa Cruz, Bolivia + + + +Author + +Miller, Bruce W. +0000-0001-5719-1942 +Neotropical Bat Acoustic and Risk Assessments, 11384 Alpine Rd., Canadian Lakes, MI 49346, USA + + + +Author + +Falcão, Fábio C. +0000-0002-2748-7117 +Tetrapoda Consultoria Ambiental Ltda, Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil + + + +Author + +del Valle Alvarez, Martín Roberto +0000-0001-6908-8547 +Programa de Pós-graduação em Zoologia, Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Brazil + +text + + +ZooKeys + + +2024 + +2024-08-29 + + +1210 + + +333 +371 + + + +journal article +10.3897/zookeys.1210.128570 +9D29FB86-005C-4D6C-AA62-85314A59C419 + + + + + +Molossus rufus +E.

The color of ventral and dorsal fur shows slight contrast, with the hairs around the neck and shoulders darker than the rest (Fig. +4 +). The upper lips are slightly wrinkled. The upper border of the nares is surrounded by small and obtuse warts. Small hairs cover internarial ribs. Ears broad, rounded, and joined at a common point. The upper border of ears with pointed and fleshy warts. The inner keel of the ears reaching the antitragus, not extending beyond the posterior part of this structure. Antitragus long and semicircular. The tragus is slightly subquadrate, with the upper extreme narrower, giving an obelisk appearance. + + +The skull is broader across the rostrum with an evident depression near the mastoid bone, the braincase is deeper (globular shape), and the lateral region is curved (Fig. +5 +). Interparietal bones are elongated, clearly visible in the lateral view of the skull. Sagittal and lambdoidal crests developed. Upper incisors with divergent tips projected forward, forming an angle of 45 ° with the canines. Upper canines and first premolars in contact. The second upper premolars have protocones that are thin and not robust (Fig. +5 +). The third upper molars have a well-developed commissure. The posterior part of the third upper molar does not extend beyond the maxillary bone (Fig. +6 +). Palate extends beyond the level of the third upper molar (Fig. +6 +). Mesopterygoid fossa deep and narrower anteriorly, with basisphenoid pits deep, wider posteriorly and oval in shape (Fig. +5 +). Rib between basisphenoid pit thin. Incisive foramen large.
